Blog 2 homework

1) Canvas is a new tool I’ve never heard of before. It’s a very clear and straight forward tool for teachers and students to hand in & grade assignments. It’s very user-friendly and easy to get into.

Twitter on the other hand is a total nightmare. Since there is a word limit to your ‘tweets’ and it’s confusing whether something is public or private. I’ve read cases of famous celebrities or politicians leaving embarrassing tweets thinking the message was private. But I can see the appeal for celebrities because the popular they are the more followers they have. For the average user, rather than using it to connect with friends. I feel it’s more for keeping track with celebrities. I wish it was more user-friendly. 

Pinterest was user friendly, but I didn’t know the concept of boards and pinning something until this class. For a newcomer, it might be easier to get into if you have someone to teach you. It’s a very convenient media storing platform Blogger was new for me, but because I already have a gmail acount, I think it would take courage to start blogging on your passions and interest in public. I say this because apparently my sister saw my blog because she got an update email, even though I didn't send her anything! 


2) I sometimes see 'tumblr' on the internet but I don't know what it is. At first I thought it was the Starbucks tumbler or had something to do with something tumbling. If there are any other popular tools I would like to find out more!.
